Fenerbahçe became the first Turkish team to claim a World Championship title. After being runners-up in the CEV Champions League in 2010, Fenerbahçe finally were crowned European Champions in the 2011–12 season after defeating French powerhouse RC Cannes in three straight sets (25–14, 25–22, and 25–20) in the final game. The club also reached the third place of the Champions League twice, in the 2010–11 and 2015–16 seasons.
Fenerbahçe won the 2014 CEV Cup by defeating Uralochka-NTMK Ekaterinburg. On the same day, the men's team won the CEV Challenge Cup, making Fenerbahçe the first sports club in Turkey to win European titles in both men's and women's volleyball departments.
